The PAFF program currently recognizes 165 nature parks. 158 of those are located in The Netherlands (PA) and 7 are located on the Dutch Caribean Islands (PJ).

We use the WCPA (World Commission on Protected Areas) definitions of the nature areas. Note that the perimeters might differ from the definitions used by local park management. Note also that we have combined a few smaller areas into larger areas under one reference.

So always check the perimeters on the Google Map and / or KMZ file (below) before you go out to activate a park. We have provided some extra information on locations from where you might be able to activate the reserve on the Google Map. Note that in any case it is the responsibility of the activator to find a suitable location within the defined perimeter and to supply proof of the location used.

You will find a Google map showing the locations and perimeters of the nature parks

Note that we have had to split the maps due to limitations in the online maps of Google. In the table below you can find downloadable KMZ files for the individual nature reserves.

A general overview showing all nature reserves (without the details provided by the area maps) can be found here: WWFF PAFF general overview

Most wanted PAFFs

Not all parks have had the same share of attention. You can find the activity level of all nature reserves on the activity page on this website.

Complete list of PAFF references
Below you will find the list of the nature parks that are part of the PAFF program. For your convenience we have included KMZ files of the perimeter of each reserve for download. Use the Google Maps links at the top of this page to find their location and perimeters.
